Turns out I work for him

New Manager....

Looking back in time, there was never a time when the manager had scolded without any reason, he always wanted them to present the best of their abilities, which led to his so-called strict personality. "Sir, now that you are transferring, do you want to treat us as your own children? Please sir, let us have a last celebration, as father and children rather than manager and subordinates, please sir." Asks Yeon-so as she wipes her tears with the tissue and the manager agrees to it saying, "okay, let's have the dinner together, but on one condition." Yeon-so gets a little confused and asks again, "what condition, sir?" To this question, the manager laughs and says, "The condition is that, this will not be the last dinner. We will keep meeting from time to time, what do you say?" Yeon-so nods her head smiling from ear to ear.

They called the employees who had already left and asked them to join in for the dinner with manager and everyone came back. The manager chooses a little fancy yet cozy place for their dinner which was very unexpected, to think that the strict manager would choose such an amazing place for dinner instead of a tense yet luxurious private restaurant room. They were happy and nervous at the same time. To ease the tension between the manager and the other employees, Yeon-so suggests that they play some music and dance on it. The manager agrees to it and he goes as the first person to dance on the song, they all start to relax and the atmosphere starts to bloom. The evening goes by in the split of moments and everyone starts to head home in a drunken state, Yeon-so and Jessi go with the manager, they had high tolerance of alcohol do they here considered sober if compared to the other employees who were acting out of their characters.

The manager drops Yeon-so and Jessi to their house bidding them the last goodbye as their manager, "Goodbye, daughters. Take good care of yourselves and don't get hurt, especially you Yeon-so, with how clumsy you are, make sure you don't lose face in front of your new manager, I heard he is not like me. He is young led with smart brain like yours. So, take care." Saying these last words, he asks the driver to move. Yeon-so just looks at the car till it disappears and then moves inside the house.

Everyone in the house was asleep, the floors were cold, the wind blew inside through the window of the kitchen, giving Yeon-so chills down her spin. "Young led? Who could it be?" she thinks while closing the window. The thing she was concerned about was his professionalism rather than his looks, "will he be professional enough to take the responsibility of the office? He must be, right? Since the headquarters have choose him, he must be talented then." Having these thought, she goes to the freshen up and then goes to her bed. With the night sky filled with stars looking all pretty, she slept in peace.

The next day, Yeon-so left home on the usual time, reaching the office on time, she signed in relief, "thank god, I'm on time today." She murmurs as she orders her daily coffee in the cafeteria and looks for a seat to sit down. Some of her colleagues, sitting in the cafeteria spotted her and signaled her to go to them. She goes to them and greets everyone, "good morning, everyone." She says politely and including her in their gossip session one of them says, "Did you see him, the new manager?" so the other person curiously asks, "has he arrived already? I didn't see him tough." To it the third person says, "yes, he has already arrived and is waiting for everyone to arrive, I must say, he is handsome. Once everyone arrives, he will come and introduce himself, I guess." Yeon-so was only listening to them and then she gets called to pick her order. She greets them all a good day and leave after taking the coffee.

Sitting at her desk, she tries to peek in the cabin but couldn't see the person clearly, after trying for a few minutes she gives up and waits for everyone to arrive. She starts her work and leaves to take some printouts in the meanwhile, everyone arrives and the new manager comes out of the cabin to greet everyone. "Good morning, everyone, I'm Mark Daniel, your newly appointed manager, I hope we work well together without any deputes. Peacefully." He says with a light smile on his face, but the smile fades slowly as he sees Yeon-so coming with printouts. Yeon-so gets a shock herself seeing Mark in front of her, "M-m-mark?" she shutters.

They both stare at each other for a while then finally moving their gazes away, he says, "yes, I'm Mark Daniel, the new manager appointed by the headquarters. Since the introduction is over, it would be nice to get back to your works everyone. Please continue with your works and Ms. Lee, send me the updates of the office till date, please." Saying this much he goes back to his cabin. On the other hand, Yeon-so stood their dumb founded for a while, then coming to her sense, she runs to the cafeteria and sits there on the corner sit. "How is this possible? How can mark be here? It just doesn't make sense. No, he can't be here. How will I work with him being in front of me all the time?" these thoughts start to trouble her and the past that she wanted to forget comes rushing towards her, making her emotionally unstable. those precious memories, those days that she had buried deep inside her, all came up flashing in front of her eyes.
